Excellent day trip from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai and Golden Triangle - This was an excellent tour and highly recommend. Sara was a wonderful host and a wealth of knowledge. We had a great day exploring Chiang Rai and the Golden Triangle. This was a lot of traveling to do by car in one day but our hosts made us feel comfortable the entire time.

Amazing day - Ahm was great as our guide and very informative. The pace was perfect for a couple who just returned from an overnight jungle trek. We arrived at the White Temple just before the crowds and enjoyed great photo opportunities.

Excellent tour. Highly recommended. - Tui is an excellent tour guide. He explained the details of both temples very well. The lunch that he ordered for the group was excellent, even our German friends enjoyed them. The boat cruise in the golden triangle was nice indeed. The complimentary coffee at an open air cafe gave it a finishing touch.

Great tour - We had a lovely day on our private tour. The white temple was really interesting, very different. Our tour guide was quite knowledgeable about both temples we saw as well as the golden triangle, Mekong River tour. Lunch was delicious in this cute outdoor restaurant. The only drawback is the super long drive, but that’s just because of proximity. Would definitely recommend

Worthwhile - The White Temple was an absolute must do! So beautiful and well worth the long drive. I wish we had more time there and would have much rather cut off another one of the stops to have that instead
